4.3.3 restore?

**Timco** · 08-17-2011, 06:57 AM

So I have my 4.3.3 shsh blob saved with Cydia. I am currently on 4.0.1, 3Gs. Can I just jump to 4.3.3 or do I need to upgrade to 4.3.5 then downgrade to 4.3.3? My goal is to get to the best IOS that a JB/Unlock will allow since several apps want 4.2 or higher. I have the 4.3.3 restore downloaded but the shift-restore trick will not allow me to do this.

THANK YOU!! Tim

You would have an unlockable baseband as of now.
I would advice u to be on 4.2.1 if you have shsh blobs
Follow these steps
Download sn0wbreeze from here
Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: sn0wbreeze-v2.2.1.zip
Make a custom firmware in baseband preservation mode
Put phone in pwned dfu using redsn0w( even sn0wbreeze does it)
Open TU
Start TSS server ( provided TU shows your shsh)
shift restore in iTunes using the cfw u made using s0wbreeze

Download ultrasn0w from cydia.

Done !!

If you still wanna be on 4.3.3 replace sn0wbreeze 2.2.1 with this

Thanks for your reply. Since I am not a phone or computer guy most of what you wrote went right over my head. I will re-read and google some of these terms later. My Cydia has the SHSH IOS for 4.1, 4.2.1+, 4.3.3, 4.3.5

THANKS, Tim

Snowbreeze and Tiny Umbrella are computer programs. They are fairly simple to use.

Tiny Umbrella (with TSS Server running) tells iTunes its OK to restore an old firmware.
(Apple doesn't allow old firmware restores)
Sn0wbreeze creates a custom firmware that iTunes (shift/click select cfw) will use for the restore.
Sn0wbreeze also puts your device in a special DFU mode (pwnd-DFU) which is necessary to load a custom firmware.
Note: A custom firmware is required to keep your unlock and use a non-Apple authorized carrier SIM

Use xtacy's procedure. Also, detailed information is available from the links in my signature pane.

So I followed those exact instructions and now itunes says that the sim card is not supported and will not let me even plug the phone in without a 'valid' sim card....Please help! This is my only phone!

Thanks,. Tim

Then you should restore to a hactivated custom firmware, use expert option and check activate iPhone when creating cfw

Do I google "hactivated custom firmware" or is there a link? Again, I am not sure what that means. Sorry for being soo slow at this...

Go back to xtacys instructions but this time also select activate in Sbowbreeze.

I can't believe I did this....this is my work phone. I am totally screwed until I fix this. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!

**Mes** · 08-17-2011, 07:39 PM

@Timco .... send a screen show of your error please?

Also, verify iOS and modem firmware versions.

BTW: I always use Expert Mode w/Sn0wbreeze. The baseband is always preserved w/Snowbreeze

Itunes just says that the sim card does not appear to be supported and I need a sim card from an approved iphone carrier. (I am on t-mobile) I cannot get into the phone to even see what ios or modem firmware is since I just get the sim card error message.

Since you are already at this screen, build another activated cfw , use the pwned dfu and restore to this new cfw. Once restored , you should be at Homescreen.

I am really sorry, but I don't know what a cfw, dfu, or pwned is or how to get them. I may need to just buy a new phone. I am really in over my head. It just will not allow the sim card to work.

Is there a way to just activate the sim card??

**Timco** · 08-17-2011, 09:54 PM

So I ended up with 4.3.5. IS there any hope for me now?

**iYeow** · 08-17-2011, 10:01 PM

Are you at Homescreen or emergency screen?

Cfw is custom firmware.

Stock firmware is also called ofw

I am at home screen I used the old ATT sim to get past the card thing...Just need to get to a IOS that will let me unlock!

**iYeow** · 08-17-2011, 10:14 PM

What is your baseband ? Settings , general and about : modem firmware

Now run tiny umbrella, under adv tab check / uncheck : request shsh blob from cydia and click save shsh. Look under general your shsh blobs

**Timco** · 08-17-2011, 10:19 PM

05.16.02 modem firmware

do I run tiny umbrella on the pc or the iphone?

tiny umbrella's tss server is running but that is all that is happening.

**iYeow** · 08-17-2011, 10:29 PM

You run TU and download shsh blob. You don't start tsp server yet. Tss server is like a mini server for firmware verification of your restore.

Once you have downloaded your 4.3.3 blob onto TU.
Highlight your device and start tss server, keep it running .
Put iPhone into dfu mode and restore to stock 4.3.3 .
Activate with your sim
Run jailbreakme 3.0 from safari on ur iPhone
Run redsnow just to install iPad bb for unlock
